Kicking off the day, we find ourselves with 3 boardroom style sessions, each delving into one of three key ESG challenges within the industry right now. These unique sessions run ahead of the primary programme, and will host up to 15 delegates within an intimate setting to offer an unparalleled look at how ESG is permeating both new and existing public private partnerships. 


Boardroom Topics:


Boardroom 1 - Proofing ESG into future PPP’s: How can we future proof new and existing partnerships schemes for the next generation of ESG thinking?

Boardroom 2 - How to succeed at social value: What does successful “social value” look like to the different stakeholder groups and who should be driving this agenda?

Boardroom 3 - Filling the investor’s ESG bucket: What does the project need to ensure it’s investor friendly and ESG compliant?
